750MC Hot Hatch 2019 Snetterton Race 2

[@andyowens5494]

Hallelujah! Might see you at Donny, Anglesey, Silverstone and possibly Mallory (not sure who’s on track at Mallory given its a one day event) this year. I might even make it back to the paddock to say hi at some point. Good luck.

[@BenR22]

Awesome! Deffo say hi. But can pretty much say I won't be at mallory.

[@Dan-Bartlett]

Bloody hell that start was immense! Looked a tad on the slippery side though, to say the least!

[@CookRacingUK]

Worst feeling: Assembly area, all the cars driving out and you're not yet kitted up 😬 Yep been there! It's one way to get the heart rate going 😩 Nice win Ben.

[@BenR22]

😂 Thats what happens when you're standing on a hill the other end of the circuit waiting to see exactly what the weather brings! And thanks 👌

[@lazykidbandit]

Love your commitment in the wet man! 💪🏼

[@BenR22]

Thanks bud! If you're good in the wet it's an easy place to pickup a win, loads of people don't try hard enough in the wet.......naturally its quite scary sometimes.

[@supahflict]

Killer start. You are a madman

[@BenR22]

Haha, not really.... 👌

[@Mattfootmanracing]

Deserved that after Saturdays race fella, well and truly earned! Really enjoyed watching you from trackside on the last few events 👍

Thanks bud!

The outside vlog? I gotta do more out of the car work....

Hope you don’t mind me asking, but iv just added a 2 camera system to the car and wondered what video software you use to put them together ?

Sure will. Recording next week as car is getting stripped ASAP.

Hi Ben, Got to say I really really like you include the rear go pro footage at the same time in unique way. Never seen that before. Audio wise what do you use to get it that clear with helmet on etc?

[@chiefslief1886]

Los los los Ben! I'll translate from German.. Go Go Go Ben! Gonna watch it now, thanks 👍🏻

Great job Ben, it's ok if you don't talk, we can feel the concentration. Cheer!

[@BenR22]

Thanks Randy!

[@danielcgomez]

Great wet race performance Ben! sorry to hear about the CV joint issues. I know with the EK Civics, the best Front Subframe for reducing CV Joint angle damage is tthe EG one. Have you figured out what is causing the failures?

[@BenR22]

I break one cv a year, so probably just the life of the item. Need to get something stronger tbh.

[@adammuirhead1]

Love your videos Ben! What power does your car make and how much does it weigh?

[@BenR22]

Thanks Adam! It's 1050kg and 259bhp. We are limited to 260/ton in my class of racing.

[@jamielaw9798]

great drive.. but why most of the cars not as good a spec as yours? its like a guaranteed win for u

[@BenR22]

The championship has 3 classes in it. Class C is 145bhp/ton, class B is 200bhp/ton and class A is 260bhp/ton. I am in class A. Spec is important but it's more important to have the car working holistically and intelligently. In my class my car is neither the most powerful, or the lightest. I run the same tyres as other competitors, I run the same basic chassis as other competitors (Honda civic/integra with the same double wishbone and multilink rear trailing arm). But it's how you get it all working. This particular race there were only 4 or so competitors in my own class as it was one of the last races of the season and I had all but sewn up the championship so they tend not to bother coming. I was also probably the only person concentrating on searching the best wet line. And I'm sure you might of Noticed, hardly anybody was even using it. So, it's all the effort you put into the small details that find lots and lots of time and speed which total up to quite a huge overall difference.

[@gavinivers8941]

Well Done. Hondas always break the left/passages side CVs. Best carry a spare left driveshaft in your spares.

[@BenR22]

Tell me about it. I normally carry 2! But this round I pared down my spares and didn't bring any as none broke all season!

[@jamestruong994]

Is your car more powerful then the rest of the field or you just that great of a driver? You went from the back to leading the race in no time. I love it and keep up the good work

[@andyowens5494]

James Truong Judging by the overtake points, mostly better driving, brakes/balance and tyres rather than power. Even the overtakes under acceleration are mainly due to coming out of corners faster. He’s definitely got talent beyond the series he’s racing in.

[@BenR22]

There are 3 classes in the championship, so yes, I'm not directly competing with a lot of the field. In my class it's usually the top 6 in the top class.

[@Mickyrst43]

Its "Done up like a kipper"

[@BenR22]

I'll remeber that for next time 😉

[@ojmitchell7757]

If you're ever after a new rear wing set up, check out DJ Race Cars, we offer aero advice with our wings an all handmade

[@BenR22]

Thanks ollie, I've actually seen dj plenty before, but unfortunately our regulations are so restricted that whilst a wing helps settle the rear, I can't apportion that much of the budget to just the wing. I'm not sure what the dividends would be.

[@canadiangoldenerahondas]

Need a clicker for the 2020 season to keep tabs on how many times you say JC 😝

I’m gunna say it. You are too quick for this championship...

Point me where to go bud! (that doesn't cost much money 😂)

[@edwardwhitehouse4391]

Ben Rushworth Would love to see you at a round of time attack though (that is a bit of money...). But racing wise not really sure. Maybe against some bigger saloons but don’t think anything competes price wise to 750mc

[@BenR22]

@@edwardwhitehouse4391 done a round of TA and it was pretty boring, frustrating and non inclusive. It's way overpriced for what it achieves, in the UK anyway. You might see me venture into deeper waters.
